It's a snow day!

  I was awake early enough to hear the great news... A snow day! The Mayor must have looked out of his window and realized that this time it really was going to take a lot to clear the streets and not having school buses on the roads would help.
Perhaps not great news for you as it means more snow photos but I just had to get out and go down to Bryant Park to get more photos of the fountain. It has been relatively warm the past few days and the icicles have melted but the winter wonderland that was is Bryant Park was fabulous.
But first I too looked out the window and loved the view of our own balcony...


It accumulated overnight



Even on the balcony wall giving a lovely frame

The Times Square crew worked overnight and had it quite clear-ish.

Love the juxtaposition of the snow and the palm tree

There were a few traffic light around like this one.

"And who will love a little sparrow?"

Still running but no longer icicles.

The depths of field lesson came in handy!
View across Bryant Park

On opening the balcony door these icicles stayed in place

One thing I didn't see of the snow are the iced trees. The Fountain is great but the trees are magic!!
